Businesses in the Leeton Shire looking to expand operations, drive innovation and retain staff can now access $100 million through the Regional Jobs Creation Fund (RJCF) by the NSW Government. These funds will also be available to businesses seeking to relocate to regional NSW to drive regional economic investment.
New and previous applicants/recipients for the RJCF are invited to apply for Round Three if the business meets the eligibility criteria and has a project that would benefit from a financial boost.
Under Round Three, grants will range from $100,000 to $10,000,000. Funded projects will create and maintain regional jobs, diversify regional economies, and provide skills, and training opportunities, including for young people, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander individuals and people with disability.
“This investment by the NSW Government will lead to more sustainable employment and stronger and more resilient regional economies,” says Executive Manager Economic & Community Development Michelle Evans.
Round Three involves a two-stage application process. The first, an Expression of Interest application which will be assessed against the Eligibility and Assessment criteria. Suitable projects will be invited to progress to Stage 2 which will require the completion of a detailed application where further project information is needed.
